1 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings Executive Summary: Nevertheless, the simulation analyses showed that when designing a building for low energy consumption, even in cold climates, high-reflectance coatings should be specified for walls, window frames and roofing. Architectural Energy Corp., (AEC) performed simulation analyses on a high-rise building to evaluate the energy saving potential of high-reflectance coatings on three surface types walls, window frames and roofs in a variety of climates. Using the DOE 2.2 (the simulation engine of equest ), AEC simulated the energy performance of a generic eight-story office building in 12 North American cities. Surface reflectance was set between 5 percent and 70 percent for all three surface types, then compared to a baseline building, which had reflectances set at 5 percent across all three surface types. The AEC analyses showed that highreflectance coatings reduced energy costs significantly in warm and hot climates, and less so in the coldest climates, as would be expected. Other findings: When wall reflectance was increased to 70 percent from 5 percent, energy savings as a percentage of total building energy cost ranged from 0.4 to 2.4 percent, depending on location. When reflectance for window frames was similarly adjusted, energy savings as a percentage of total building energy cost ranged from 0.4 to 1.2 percent. When roof reflectance was increased to 70 percent, savings ranged from zero to 0.8 percent. Cool roof savings also are limited in comparison to other surface areas, because on tall buildings, a well-insulated roof only accounts for a small portion of its surface area. It should also be noted that higher surface reflectances reduce design airflow in all cases. Building configuration, HVAC system type, and local climate all are significant factors in determining a building s potential energy savings. Nevertheless, the simulation analyses showed that when designing a building for low energy consumption, even in cold climates, high-reflectance coatings should be specified for walls, window frames and roofing. Introduction: Buildings account for 39 percent of the energy consumed in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA, 2010). With current concerns over global warming and the associated impacts of energy consumption, energy efficiency has become a critical part of building design. The U.S. Department of Energy has a goal of achieving net-zero energy commercial buildings that will be commercially marketable by Improving the energy efficiency of buildings involves a wide variety of approaches and design options, including: Building orientation and configuration for solar control Increased wall and roof insulation Air sealing to reduce infiltration Improved windows to optimize solar heat gain and visible light, while reducing air leakage and heat loss Improved lighting system design Daylighting controls and occupancy sensors Reduced plug loads and controls to turn off equipment Improved HVAC system designs
2 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings 2 In addition to these strategies, so-called white roofs have become standard practice in many applications. These roofs feature high reflectance values to reduce the heat gain from solar radiation falling on the roof. White membrane roofs are widely used, particularly in warmer climates, and on warehouse and big-box buildings. To increase the aesthetic options available to architects and building owners, PPG has introduced a line of coatings in a wide range of colors that yield high surface reflectances. These cool coatings can be applied to exterior walls, window frames and roofing. This paper describes the approach and results of a project to evaluate the energy savings potential of high-reflectance coatings by PPG in a variety of climates. Approach: AEC conducted a simulation analysis to evaluate the energy consumption effects of high-reflectance coatings on a generic eightstory office building using equest/doe 2.2, the most accurate building energy modeling software available in the United States. Details of the modeling are described on page 3. Simulations were run with reflectance values of 0.05, 0.25, 0.35, 0.55, 0.65 and 0.70 on the walls, window frames and roofs. The resulting energy consumption was compared to the baseline building, which has reflectance on all three surface types set at In order to examine the impact of climate on the results, simulations were performed using weather data for 12 cities in a representative range of climates. The cities and weather files were: City Atlanta Boston Chicago Denver Houston Weather File Hartsfield-Jackson Int l Airport TMY3 Logan Int l Airport TMY2 Midway International Airport TMY3 Denver International Airport TMY3 George Bush Intercontinental Airport TMY3 Los Angeles Los Angeles International Airport TMY3 Mexico City Mexico City 1991 Ottawa Philadelphia Phoenix Seattle St. Louis Ottawa CWEC Philadelphia International Airport TMY3 Sky Harbor International Airport TMY3 Seattle-Tacoma International Airport TMY3 Lambert-St. Louis International Airport TMY3 Results are presented using a number of metrics including: energy cost savings, energy cost percentage savings, and simulation autosized design airflow capacity.
3 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings 3 Modeled Building: The generic eight-story office building was modeled with 241,000 square feet of floor area and a slightly rectangular footprint, with five zones per floor. Wall insulation was varied by location, based on the minimum requirements of ASHRAE Standard Roof insulation was R-20 continuous insulation, as specified by Standard for all of the modeled locations. Table 1 provides additional details on the building Table 1 Envelope Data envelope. Table 2 provides details on internal loads of the building. Table 3 describes the heating and cooling systems. Energy costs were found using U.S. average rates for commercial customers, as of September 2009, as provided by EIA. Electricity cost is $0.1051/kWh and natural gas is $0.898/therm. Glass Type Double-pane, low-e coated or tinted Glass SHGC 0.32 Glass U-Value (w/o framing) 0.35 Btuh/ft 2 / F Window Frame Type & U-value Thermally broken aluminum (1.25 Btuh/sf-F) Window Frame Width 2.5 (9% of gross window area) Window to Wall Ratio 30% of 14 floor-floor wall area AEC assumed the use of thermally broken frames to produce conservative savings estimates. Frames without a thermal break have default U-values that are double those of the frames modeled in this analysis. Thermalbreak frames are common in cold climates but less so in warm climates, where heat gain reduction from low-reflectance coatings is most valuable.

This is true even in cold climates, where the modeled energy savings are smaller than for warmer locales.
5 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings 5 Table 6 shows the design airflow reduction. Combined with other measures, air handling unit (AHU) sizing could be reduced, or design fan speed and fan brake horse power (BHP) could be reduced within the same AHU. As expected, the reductions are greatest in hot, sunny climates.

8 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings 8 Results for Roofs: Table 10 below shows the energy cost savings for increasing roof reflectance, and Table 11 shows these savings as a percentage of total building energy cost. Because the building is tall, the ratio of roof to surface or floor area is small, and increased roof reflectance is less significant than the increased reflectance of other surfaces. The surprising small negative savings for Denver/Boulder results from a penalty in cold, sunny weather, which is more common there. Also, at these very small savings, simulation non-linearities cause some inflection points in the savings.

9 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings 9 Table 12 shows the modeled design airflow reduction.

10 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings 10 Results for Walls, Window Frames and Roofs with 70% Reflectance: In addition to the analyses where highreflectance coatings were applied to the walls, window frames and roof individually, the building was also analyzed with reflectance for all three surface types set to 70 percent. These results are shown in Table 13. As expected, combined savings are higher than savings for a single low-reflectance surface. Table 13 Savings for Walls, Window Frames and Roof Reflectance at 70% vs. 5% Combined High- % Cooling Load % Airflow/fan Reflectance Surfaces Cost Savings % Cost Savings Reduction Size Reduction Atlanta $7, % 2.90% 4.71% Boston $2, % 2.05% 3.70% Chicago $2, % 3.10% 3.30% Denver/Boulder $3, % 4.57% 4.16% Houston $11, % 3.75% 6.59% Los Angeles $6, % 3.85% 4.17% Mexico City $10, % 6.59% 5.45% Ottawa $2, % 2.13% 3.87% Philadelphia $4, % 2.33% 3.82% Phoenix $13, % 5.16% 6.88% Seattle $2, % 4.57% 4.17% St. Louis $4, % 2.70% 3.51%
11 Energy Savings in High-Rise Buildings Using High-Reflective Coatings 11 Conclusion: As expected, the addition of high-reflectance coatings to building surfaces reduces heat gain through those surfaces. In cooler climates, there is a trade-off between increased heating load and decreased cooling load but reflective coatings still yield an advantage. The overall effect on energy consumption is dependent on the climate of the building. In hot climates, such as Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Phoenix, significant energy savings can be achieved. Similarly, AHUs typically are sized for the sensible cooling load and these units, as indicated by the design airflow, may also be downsized or the fan size decreased. The results of these analyses indicate that significant energy savings from highreflectance surface coatings are achievable not only with cool roofing products but also on vertical surfaces such as wall panels and window frames. These coatings also provide reductions in cooling loads and design airflows, potentially allowing equipment downsizing and first cost reductions.
